Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 272 Nan ​​Zhuren's Decision
Weng Pingting pursed her lips, as if trying to suppress some emotion.

"From a medical perspective, his case has indeed come to a conclusion..."

Weng Pingting pointed behind her: "Dr. Chen, you're more professional in this area, why don't you talk to Zhu Ren about it?"

Nan Zhuren immediately turned her gaze to Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen's expression was quite different from Weng Pingting's. He had a slightly furrowed brow, his heart seemingly filled with complex emotions and a lot of pent-up conflicts.

However, after hearing Weng Pingting's words and feeling Nan Zhuren's gaze, he still almost instinctively began to repeat Lin Lilin's injury report.

In conclusion: "Lin Lilin is currently out of danger."

but.

"Sacroiliac joint separation and pubic symphysis fracture, combined with sacral wing fracture; posterior articular surface of the calcaneus splitting with lateral wall collapse; 4th-9th ribs each with varying degrees of injury; stellate fissure in the right lobe of the liver... But these are not the most serious; the most serious is his cervical vertebral burst fracture, which is compressing the spine..."

Nan Zhuren blinked, sounding quite impressive.

How could they save him? Doctor, you have a miracle cure!

As Dr. Chen spoke, he perhaps sensed a growing sense of bewilderment in Nan Zhuren's eyes regarding something beyond his own professional knowledge, and he quickly paused.

He simplified the story: "To put it simply, Lin Lilin has fractures from head to toe, and also suffers extensive damage to his internal organs and nerves. There is basically no hope of a full recovery." Dr. Chen took a deep breath. "Even if he survives, he will be bedridden for the rest of his life."

"Perhaps at this point, psychology will play a greater role than medicine," Dr. Chen joked.

This time, Nan Zhuren understood.

"Ah," Nan Zhuren sighed, "This is terrible."

His tone was completely flat, so much so that Weng Pingting almost lost her composure.

……

Was Nan Zhuren completely unmoved?

Nan Zhuren was so overwhelmed with emotion that he almost gave himself a [emotional readjustment].

However, he quickly regained his composure and shifted his attention to what he needed to do.

"Dr. Chen, how are you feeling now?"

Lin Lilin suffers, Nan Zhuren is happy.

But more than simply making Lin Lilin suffer, Nan Zhuren was concerned about the role that "Lin Lilin's suffering" played.

The impact on Dr. Chen during this process was particularly significant.

Dr. Chen opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated and shrank back.

"Teacher Nan, the reason I asked Teacher Weng to bring me to pick you up today is because I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"But this is already a lot of trouble for you. And it seems that Teacher Weng also needs to talk to you. Why don't you finish talking about your business first, and then we can talk about me?"

"Perfect timing, my mind is a bit of a mess right now, I need some time to organize my thoughts..."

Nan Zhuren's gaze lingered slightly on Dr. Chen.

[Pressing lips and blinking rapidly—hesitation.]

[Clench both fists, but not continuously; instead, alternate between clenching and loosening them—are you trying to boost your morale?]

[I have some questions on my mind, but I'm gathering my strength.]

Faced with this situation where "you have something to say, but you can't bring yourself to ask it because you're not firm enough in your heart."

If possible, it's better to let the other party complete the process of accumulating power on their own.

Nan Zhuren decided to give Dr. Chen some time.

So he turned to Weng Pingting.

……

"Sister Pingting, what do we do next?"

I listened to Nan Zhuren's question.

Weng Pingting glanced at Nan Zhuren through the reflection in the rearview mirror. "That's the question I should be asking you. What are you thinking? Are you going to retake the postgraduate entrance exam?"

Nan Zhuren replied without hesitation: "Test, and test Teacher Bai's knowledge."

Although Lin Lilin's suicide attempt that day interrupted the conversation between Nan Zhuren and Bai Qinghua.

But afterwards, Bai Qinghua still took the time to describe to Nan Zhuren his research group and company in Beidu, as well as the treatment Nan Zhuren received after arriving.

For Bai Qinghua, a mere professional scoundrel who jumped off a building due to mental instability was not enough to stop him from taking on apprentices.

Nan Zhuren was also deeply moved.

He knows all too well the consulting resources that a region and its social circles can attract.

For example, the two cases he currently has—one completed (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: Chen Ting) and one incomplete (Depression: Li Minglu)—were both obtained through traditional referrals from acquaintances.

Given his age and education, he was not qualified to independently guide visitors of this caliber.

Becoming an apprentice of a top professor at a leading psychological counseling institution in Beidu would provide Nan Zhuren with countless consultations and cases, which translates to countless monthly goals and career development opportunities, as well as corresponding psychological skills training and advanced psychological techniques training.

The benefits he gains are more than enough to justify spending some of his time on his master's studies over the next three to four years.

Even if we exclude the supernatural elements at the center of dream psychology...

There is an opportunity to go to Beijing Normal University and become a disciple of Bai Qinghua, an industry leader with both academic and social standing.

Any student in the School of Psychology at Jiangdu University would be drooling with envy.

So Nan Zhuren's answer was straightforward—Go!

After hearing Nan Zhuren's reply.

Weng Pingting leaned back and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's good that you've thought it through. The teacher can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"After you caused such a ruckus at Jiang University that day, you know how the eyes of several professors around you were shining when they looked at you?"

"It's his fault too. I've told him so many times that I'd come to Jiangdu to see you, but he always got lazy and didn't want to come; now he's getting anxious, worried that someone else will take you away from him..."

As they talked, Weng Pingting suddenly became interested.

"Call me Senior Sister!"

She smoothly transitioned from consulting supervisor to senior colleague.

Nan Zhuren blinked.

"but……"

Nan Zhuren suddenly changed the subject: "Although I have decided to take the exam, I plan to stay in Jiangdu for now and not go to Beidu for the time being."

Weng Pingting raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

“Because I want to continue mentoring Li Minglu,” Nan Zhuren replied.

One reason is professional ethics.

On the other hand... it would be very distressing if half of the cases that were intervened in were not archived and did not receive further training in psychological techniques.

Nan Zhuren was hoping to significantly improve himself through his third advanced training in psychological techniques.

Both "Micro-expression Analysis - Beginner" and "Emotional Rebalancing - Beginner" have proven themselves.

Weng Pingting glanced quickly at Nan Zhuren, then quickly turned back.

"Are you sure? Intervention for depression can't be resolved in just one or two months. If you insist on not transferring Li Minglu, he might not be better by the time you finish your postgraduate entrance exam or even start school next year."

"Confirmed." Nan Zhuren nodded.

Weng Pingting shrugged, indicating her understanding and support.

Then he fell into deep thought.
